NEW VIDEO : Lost in Translation | How Caregiving Can Be Like A Giant Game of Telephone

Published 5 months ago • 3 min read

Lost in Translation: How Miscommunication Can Harm Your Aging Parents

video preview​

If you’ve ever cared for a parent or aging loved one, you already know the “telephone game” is real. Mom hears one thing at the doctor. Your sibling hears something totally different. And by the time it gets to you? The story has changed three times.

And it’s not because people don’t care.
It’s because there’s too much information, too many emotions, and not enough clarity.

In this conversation, I sit down with Chrystal Gallo, founder of InnerHive — an app that helps families capture, summarize, and share medical and care conversations so everyone gets the same version of the facts.

We talk about:

  • Why caregivers get burned out (and how it sneaks up on you)
  • The emotional and logistical chaos of coordinating care
  • The sibling dynamics no one talks about
  • How “good intentions” still lead to miscommunication
  • How to advocate for yourself and your family

👉 Watch this conversation NOW and share with someone who needs to hear this.

November is Family Caregiver Month, we’re using this time inside Advanced Adulting to connect you with real support. All month, I’ll be sharing conversations, resources, and experts who are leading the way in caregiving, aging-at-home, emotional support, planning, and the loneliness crisis. If you’re caring for a parent now (or you know it’s coming), stay tuned — I’ve got more episodes, tools, and guides on the way to help you carry the load and feel less alone in it.

THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR

​ADVANCED ADULTING is brought to you by our partner : Innerhive, an app that helps caregivers record, transcribe, and share medical appointments and care updates—keeping families organized, informed, and on the same page.

💬 “Caregiving shouldn’t feel like a game of telephone.”

Mom goes to the doctor, your sister hears one thing, your brother another, and by the time it gets to you… none of it makes sense.

It’s not because people don’t care—it’s because there’s too much to keep straight.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce Innerhive, a new Advanced Adulting partner designed to bring clarity and calm to caregiving.

Just hit record during a doctor’s visit or important care conversation, and Innerhive automatically:

  • Transcribes and summarizes everything that was said
  • Organizes it in one secure place
  • Lets you share it with your family or care team

No more confusion. No more “what did the doctor say again?” texts. Everyone gets the same version of the facts—without the chaos.

👉 Download the automatic notetaker today at innerhive.com to stop second-guessing, and start caring with confidence.

The most thoughtful gift for an older adult when you can’t be there in person If you’re wondering what to get mom, dad, or an older loved one this upcoming holiday, I want to share something I genuinely love. I’m a terrible gift giver. Always have been. And when you can’t visit… when you’re far away… or life just doesn’t allow you to be there in person, finding a gift that actually means something can feel impossible. That’s why I was so impressed when the founder of Connected Seasons, Allen,...
